Township Auditorium, Columbia, SC

So, here’s a new experience. I’m actually really enjoying this show. I just don’t feel like writing about it all. It’s too early in the morning. But, this first set really suits my mood for some reason. I love it when nothing stands out but everything is near perfect. My kind of set. It even closed out with a great great Bowie.

Second set is more of the same: tight and energetic. The tenth Julius ever is hands-down the best one yet. The peak of the jam is just intense.

And this Tweezer is non-stop interesting with some sure-fire Type II stuff going on. Really worth a listen.

Finally, Page’s dad is there, so they showcase the Chairman of the Boards to close out the show. Page plays a beautiful extended outtro to Coil then welcomes his Pops to the stage to join him for the encore. A special treat, to be sure!

Mostly, I’m really excited about tomorrow’s blog post. It’ll be the first to feature a guest blogger!! Stay tuned. It’s a great story!

Thanks for reading.
